Boomer Sex Ain’t Boomin’

November 24, 2010

28

An enlightening and thoroughly depressing new survey of sex among Boomers was conducted recently.  Now Husband and Life in the Boomer Lane unshackled themselves from the headboard  in their bedroom long enough to read it.  LBL will summarize for those of you who were fans of Cliff Notes back in school.  The first sentence says […]

At Thanksgiving, I'm Grateful For Me

November 22, 2010

23

Because it didn’t take a lot of loss in my life to make me understand how precious every days is.  And because each birthday is my best gift to myself.  Because I’m wise enough to know that my children aren’t perfect and wiser still to believe that they really are.  Because I’m funny.  And, thankfully, […]

One of the bloggers I follow, http://www.VVDenman.com, wrote a lovely piece the other day titled “The Power Behind A Writer’s Desk“ and she included a photo of the desk at which she writes.  I’ve always found it fascinating to see where people write, especial since I began my first novel on the back of sales […]

Although I had no part of the free sex of the 60s, and only slightly more of the more-than-free-but-still cheap drugs of the era, I look back on some of the things I did back then and wonder how I survived.   I hitchhiked with my then best friend from Philly to Trenton, so that […]

Life in the Boomer Lane is about to leave for London.  Again.  Because her three kids all live at a distance (three different distances, to be precise), LBL now does a fair amount of traveling.  And, because LBL has enough metal in her body to build a washer/dryer, Airport Security is always a blast (Whoops, wrong […]

After my cricket post I decided to take a break from writing about any non-humanoids for awhile.  Then my phone rang.  It was a former client:  “I have rats.  What should I do?”  I thought about this for awhile, but rat stew didn’t seem to be the most helpful answer. “Call an exterminator.” I paused.
